In my opinion with some cropping and a bit more pp Number 1 could be on a wall.

I was rather disappointed, but then again I am with most of my work.

I went back to reshoot, but a light storm is blowing the reeds and the light is dying, so I'll try again in the morning.

Thank you. Really, thank you! S-

Thank you but I'll leave that to you as it is mostly a matter of personal taste.......you did the hard part by getting a good capture.

Beautiful color and light! If you get a chance to visit with them in the morning, raise that shutter speed till the sharpness makes you happy. Birds won't ever be still for us. Even when they look like they're still, they're jittering around a little. I've never even heard of these but they sure are pretty things.
